Chamber and committees

I ask witnesses and MSPs to keep questions and answers as concise as possible. We are a bit pressed for time now. Colin Beattie will be followed by Brian Whittle.

I will ask a couple of quick questions. First, I will go to Suzanne Sosna. Do you think that the supply chain development statements in the ScotWind leasing round have been delivered on, and are they sufficient to support the supply chain? I do not know whether you are able to give us an insight into that.

Emma, thank you for the information that Scottish Renewables has given us. I think that, when people look down the list, they tend to see men fulfilling those roles. What needs to be done to encourage women into them? You have described an expanding sector with lots of opportunities. Is anybody collecting gender-disaggregated data on roles in the workforce?

Okay—thank you. Colin, back to you.

Paul de Leeuw, I will come back to you before I move to Colin Smyth. You have said that the just transition can be different things for different people or different sectors, but is enough being done to create a route map? Do we need a framework to recognise progress points? We all know what the end point is, but does more need to be done to set out how we get there?

Thank you.

Are we clear enough about what is being measured and what success will look like? Other witnesses have spoken about a data gap. Is that a challenge in trying to determine success?

One of the areas that we are looking at is how we will know whether a just transition is being delivered. Should targets or marks be identified? You mentioned jobs—should there be a target for green jobs?

That is what your company has done on the question of what a just transition is. Should there be more expectation on other organisations to take that approach? You have described yourselves as being the lead in this area, but that seems to have been a choice that was made by SSE. Is there enough support for, encouragement of or obligation on other companies to understand the importance of a just transition and to think about how they will deliver it?

Is enough being done to set out that route map for Moray and the north-east or to bring together the people who need to be speaking to each other to create it?
